I Missed Out on Fall Golf, Will I Ski This Winter?

Went in to see Dr. C yesterday for my scheduled checkup, 11 weeks post OP.  It was a brief visit, and everything is looking great and on schedule.  I asked him where on the tendon I had surgery, and he pointed out the exact location…on the lower end of the Achilles / where there’s a little bump and it’s tender.  My calf muscle is coming back to full size, still working on the strength.

I went to PT last night immediately after the doc appt.  I have been going to PT for 5 weeks now, 2 to 3 times per week, and it makes a difference.  It’s amazing, 2 weeks ago I walked for the first time and it was in a pool.  Now, I am wearing 2 shoes and walking most of the time without a crutch.  In PT I’ve been working on the sitting elliptical machine, and standing on one leg for 1 minute straight.  It feels good to be making progress.  I recommend PT!!!

I’ve been traveling more often now, went to San Francisco again last week, heading to Omaha next week.  Sitting in a middle seat back from CA last week made for a long flight.  Good news, the swelling in my foot/leg has greatly reduced over the past 2 weeks.

My next appointment with Dr. C is in 6 weeks, which will be 17 weeks post OP.  Cheers and happy recovery to all.
